whilst i understand that they're meant to build tension, from a gameplay perspective they're pretty average imo.

The combos you can pull off in this are pretty cool too - I don't remember being able to link force powers like this before.

For example, you can basically slash into a group of stormtroopers or rebels, do a charged force push into the ground which will toss the group in the air, lock onto one, grab them and manage to throw him into the others, all in one, swift, fluid motion.

From that kind of combo perspective, the level system seems like it could lead to some pretty cool looking combo possibilities.

Oh and, uh, QTE's? Huh?

And, RJT, when you refer to GoW, are you speaking of Gears of War or God of War?

Ah, I see, no confusion caused, but I have to ask, what are QTE's?

Are those the same as triggers, or scripted events? Where you have to stand in a certain spot/talk to a certain person/pick up a certain item at a certain time to make something happen?

It's when the game tells you to mash a button or sequence of buttons to trigger something. Like if your standing in a hallway and the enemy fires a gun at you and the game takes a scripted approach and tells you to mash the X button so you can dodge the bullet...etc...

Ohhhhhh....well that sucks, that kind of gimmick only works in a mini-game-type setting, which such is not the case with Force Unleashed.
